Protists

protists

Plasmodium vivax is a eukaryotic parasite. Eukaryotic organisms have their genetic material enclosed in a nucleus, while prokaryotic organisms do not have a nucleus.

people did not know what they were exactly. and Hope all of you have a good day!!!

Amoeba

Genetic recombination in paramecium can occur during conjugation, where genetic material is exchanged between two individuals. This process of recombination is separate from population growth, which occurs through asexual reproduction (binary fission) where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

a common ancestor
A common ancestor is what protest lack. This is what makes them so diverse.

No, weeds are not protists when they are plants even though yes, they are protists when they are algae. Protists include organisms, with nucleus and organelles enclosed within membranes, that cannot be called definitively animals, fungi or plants. Algae may be weedy in ways that threaten vegetation near water bodies and water gardening.

Protists eliminate wastes by allowing them to diffuse through the cell membrane.

Thermophytes are a group of algae that thrive in high-temperature environments, typically above 45°C. They have adapted to extreme conditions such as hot springs, geothermal vents, and volcanic areas. These algae have unique pigments that help them absorb light efficiently in these environments.

Protist cell walls can be made of a variety of materials including cellulose, silica, or chitin. The composition of the cell wall depends on the specific species of protist.

Sarcodina amoeba proteus, a type of amoeba, typically live in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and streams. They can also be found in soil and decaying organic matter. Amoeba proteus is known for its ability to change shape by extending pseudopods for movement and feeding.

The amoebas are in the protista kingdom.

Paramecia are single cell organisms usually less than one hundredth inch long. They are a genus of protozoa of the phylum Ciliophora. They feed mostly on bacteria.


Paramecium is a member of a group of unicellular slipper shaped ciliate protozoa called Paramecia.

Algae, like diatoms and green algae, are protists that can make their own food through photosynthesis and are commonly found living in water environments. They play a critical role in aquatic ecosystems by serving as primary producers.

Certain chemical gradients began to form microtubule sub-units together that extend out on two places on the amoeba's membrane into what are called pseudopodia. These pseudopodia engulf the food and the ameoba pull itself toward the food rather than pulling the pseudopodia into the main body.

The number of legs vary in each ameba

Humans cannot live without protists, as they play crucial roles in ecosystems and human health. Protists, such as phytoplankton, are essential for oxygen production and serve as the base of aquatic food webs. Additionally, some protists are involved in nutrient cycling and contribute to soil fertility. Furthermore, certain protists are used in medicine and biotechnology, highlighting their importance to human life.

Gause's laboratory experiment demonstrated the process of competitive exclusion because he was able to isolate the two species and their common limiting resource (food) in the laboratory.
